Has anyone actually seen the paper on neurolink? I haven't seen them but also haven't really hunted.

I haven't seen a paper. The last thing I read about it was about the primates who were euthanized due to “bloody diarrhea, partial paralysis, and cerebral edema" in relation to the implant but I didn't dig deep.
